The Timberwolves hold the No. 2 pick in the June’s NBA Draft, and considering that general manager David Kahn—now in his second year running the team—is under pressure to get things turned around, there has been some buzz around the possibility of Minnesota trading the pick. Assuming Cleveland will take point guard Kyrie Irving with the first pick, the Timberwolves will be looking at Derrick Williams second, or at some surprise choice like big man Enes Kanter, Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas or shooting guard Alec Burks.

But owner Glen Taylor said he thinks that the Timberwolves will stay at No. 2. “I think it’s most likely we’ll keep (the pick) ... but we’re open to look at a trade,” Taylor told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “But most likely we’ll keep (the player who is drafted). I just think when you get a pick that high, you would want to keep it for the future.”

The Timberwolves have some important decisions ahead, starting with the fate of coach Kurt Rambis, who could be fired after two years and a 32-132 record. "David hasn’t talked to (Rambis) and hasn’t said what they’re going to do yet,” Taylor said. “I’m still waiting there.”

Additionally, the Timberwolves are hoping to finally bring 2009 first-round pick, point guard Ricky Rubio, to the NBA for next season. That would solidify a position of concern for the Wolves and allow them to focus on acquiring a big man in the draft.

Minnesota is also expected to have significant cap space available in the offseason, though it will be difficult to sign a major free agent to play in that market.
